I am a SharePoint Infrastructure Engineer currently working for
eShare Limited in the United Kingdom.
I am a certified SP2010 MCTS and MCITP, having passed the 70-667 and 70-668 exams in 2011.
I specialise in SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) administration and have been involved in numerous projects including but not limited to: hardware acquisition, security (including penetration testing), capacity planning, Web part deployments, upgrades/migrations and virtualisation.
As well as SharePoint 2003, 2007 and 2010, I have had exposure to SQL Server 2000-2008, Hyper-V, Windows Server 2003-2008 and ISA Server 2006.
I am a strong SharePoint community advocate and frequently tweet under the alias @
benjaminathawes. I also visit the MSDN forums on a regular basis, and regularly attend UK based SharePoint events such as user groups, SharePoint Saturdays and the European Best Practise Conferences.
My professional ambition is to become a SharePoint MCM at some stage, although I have a long way to go :-).
